Project description:Sea urchins lack proper eye organs but are photosensitive. In this study, we investigate an extraocular photoreceptor cell (PRC) system in developmental stages of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus.
Project description:Our aim was to study the immune system of a Mediterranean sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. Using a label free quantitative mass spectrometry approach we analyzed how bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is able to modulate the coelomocytes proteome and effect its cellular pathways such as cytoskeleton reorganization, stress and energetic homeostasis.
